I need help with my new Antminer S3's and Corsair 750MW PSU's. My PSU does not power up at all, which means the miner does not either. I just got these today, brand new (including PSU) I need help figuring out how to get this to work so I can start mining.... newbie to bitcoin. Power supply is in correct spots..

You need to do the PSU paperclip trick.  Check out Corsair's website here: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/rm-series-rm750-80-plus-gold-certified-power-supply and look at the "FAQ & Support", then "PSU Paperclip test".

That should get you up and running.

Is this required to boot it up? Or just a way to test the PSU?

am also thinking of buying an antminer, with no previous training in bitcoin mining, so I am watching
to see how things go for you.
Let us know how it goes.
